I have the distinct pleasure of being a mentor in Columbia University's Masters of IT program in continuing education (other posts mentioning Columbia program - http://newyorkcto.blogspot.com/search?q=columbia). My second student just graduated, and I am about to receive my third student in the coming school year. I find it be extremely satisfying to teach a student how to prepare a technology business case, and at the same time find myself reflecting on my own management style, something I am constantly learning and tweaking.
